I have a Tower Hobbies Tower Trainer 40 MKII 4-Channel RTF 62". I just
put it together and then was testing how it responds to the remote
control. When I push up on the right control stick the rudder moves
and when I push sideways on the left control stick the elevator moves.

After inspecting my Avistar, I found the hinge at the very tip of the
aileron has parted. How do i successfully replace are repair this? do I need
to pull the aileron completely off and replace all four? How do I remove the
old material?

Hello again fine group,
I have been searching for a JU-52 3M kit in the 6'-8' wing span size
range and found,,, shall I say not much, not much at all.
The Graupner electric is no longer made and too small anyway.

   Twenty years ago I started a Carl Goldberg Eagle II and then stopped. I
completed the woodwork on the wing and covered it with Coverite's, Super
Coverite (fabric type). I did not have a flat, warp-free surface to work on
and now I have a wing that is not exactly true.

This past week I was literally given everything I need to start flying
RC aircraft, including two aircraft and engines. A relative's neighbor
was throwing everything out, but my relative rescued the stuff and
surprised me with them.

Does anyone know the price on this plane on the Flair web site and
availability?
Is it a large swallow?

Well my one did as i bought an 1850mah MH pack and left it to charge on
auto thinking it knows what it sees. Hmmm checks it about 90 mins later
and the readout says 2100mah....YIKES ..and the battery is quite warm
indeed. So stopped it and pondered over why it went so high.

Be sure to get a copy of R/C Report, September 04 and read Stu Richmond's
Just Plane Fun column.  Is he serious or not? You be the judge.
Per Mr. Richmond, "I don't know of even one advantage to flying R/C using a
Mode II transmitter. That's right, not even one. And in this month ...

Hello all.  After building scale models for more years than I care to remember,
I finally decided that it was time to take the plunge and get into RC flying
where my planes do more than just sit and look pretty.  I am at the reading and
information gathering stage, with this being ...

What is an average voltage reading without load for a fully charged 4 cell
Nicad RX pack?

Where can I get one in the UK (prefer online) & how much are they?
Thanks!

The Croydon Club should be congratulated for organising one of the best
shows of the year at the Hop Farm in Kent last weekend. There were over 60
traders there and a wealth of first class flyers and models.
Seeing that this was only the second year of the show it's growth in a ...

My friend had landed and taxied his plane to the flight line. When he
tried to kill the engine with the motor trim tab, his left thumb
accidentally brushed against the throttle stick, advancing the engine
to high power.

I am looking for RC clubs in the La Crosse, Wis or Onalaska, Wisconsin area.
Interested in meeting members in my area.  docferg@centurytel.net

Am moving to Philly soon.  What are my options for clubs and airfields.
AMA, please.
Thanks,
Mike Lavender
